Who says that money should motivate you? And what do you mean by "like it should"? Money, for me, has always been a means to something else: I need shelter, food, some clothing... and where I live, those things cost money.
But I'm more interested in doing work that I like and respect than making a pile of dough. So I have a roof over my head, eat healthy food and have enough clothing. But the real wealth in my life (after being blessed with good health) comes from my family and friends and my creativity.
Consider yourself lucky not to be obsessed with the material.

The answer is.....
Money is not a motivator.
It may take a while to realize the truth of this but it is absolute. If I pay you twice what you make now, in the long run you will not perform any better than you do now.
DESIRE for money can be a motivator. The promise of recognition/promotion/perks is a common motivator.

Buy cheap products made in China, patronize the dollar stores. Never eat out. Learn to be selfish, and do not give anything away without a price.Cheat your friends, and business acquaintances, lie like the devil on your income tax. Deal in cash as much as you can so that no authorities can see any paper trail. Do not give your change to the street kids or the winos.Hit the charities for clothes, food, and money; never give the charities anything, it will cost you. Nickel and dime your wife to death. Make your kids work for their allowance, and clawback as much as you can on a demerit point system. Make the kids pay for their own college fund. Rack up as much as you want on a number of credit cards, then file for bankruptcy.
These are some of the tips you can use to motivate yourself to a normal level of monetary wealth.
Now if you want to gain a vast amount of riches beyond the normal.......well that's a different game altogether.
For that you have to learn to give,and give, and keep on giving to your wife. To your children, and extended family. You have to learn to give to charities far beyond a normlal 0.10% of your net income. Also the truth would have to be adhered to in all aspects of your life, and you will have to give more to others. More time, more effort, and more of your heart. Give some more to the less fortunate, and give to your community, and give to the communities outside of your personal realm and give of yourself more than you think possible. And forgive all debts when called upon. Do not expect compensation for anything, but expect to profit without profiteering.
All this "giving: has to be accomplished with intelligence, and a huge amount of wisdom. Do that and you will go beyond the normal. Way beyond the normal.
Hope this helps you bud~~~~~~~~~~~~

Money dose not motivate me.
But i want a lovely garden, yes i can make my own cuttings and reproduce plants from seeds, But i still need money to make sure irrigation is working, or the soil dosent need treating.
To sit in a beautiful garden with the sounds of Birds and having butterfly's flying around.. is my motivation to work towards saving money to get the desired effect.
Money is a means to the end product.
So find what is is you desire, be it a trip over seas to visit the great temples of Angkor Wat Cambodia.
Or to sit in a creation you yourself built, like a garden.

You have probably fallen into a slump and need something big to get you out of it. Plan something big and likely to bring in a lot of money for you but also involves a great deal of risk. That should spark that capitalist fervor within you.

Because you are to smart to fall for that. Money does not buy true feeling no matter how much you have of it. It might actually buy the feeling of envy from others though. You can not take money with you when you die, and people wont remember how much money you had but how you treated them.

An If/Then:
If money doesn't motivate you...
Then give it all away to a worthy charity
and then do another self assessment.

Is this seriously a question? Hallelujah if you feel no tie to money you are of the few whose life means something. It is a fool who lives life for money.

The more money you make, the more you can give to charity. Try that angle.
